From BlackRock to Ethereum: Why Joseph Chalom is Betting It All on ETH

Bankless

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. **The 2:1 Rule for Valuing ETH:** The simplest institutional valuation model correlates ETH's market cap to the value it secures. For every $2 in assets (stablecoins, RWAs) on Ethereum, ETH's value historically grows by $1, providing a clear framework for its future potential.
  2. **Productive Assets Win:** Ether’s ability to generate yield through staking makes it a fundamentally superior treasury reserve asset compared to non-productive alternatives. This allows companies like Sharplink (ESBET) to generate revenue, compound holdings, and attract public market multiples.
  3. **Tokenization Unlocks Trillions:** The shift to on-chain, atomically settled assets will free up tens of trillions in capital currently locked in settlement risk, counterparty risk, and collateral management, creating an overwhelming incentive for institutional adoption on secure networks like Ethereum.
